Manuel Pellegrini: “I have only 13 main squad players left”

- Which of your players are injured?

- We have similar squad that we played in the last Premier League game. The only player that has recovered is Mangala.

- Is the Champions League your priority considering that you used reservists in the FA Cup match against Chelsea FC?
- We had to make a difficult decision against Chelsea but it was the only choice we could make in this moment. We had just 13 main squad players left. We have a chance to reach far than the Champions League round of 16 and we don’t want to lose this opportunity.

- How difficult is it to work considering that you know you’ll leave the team after the end of the season?

- I don’t think about that. We’re in for difficult matches I’m focused on.

- Which leg against Dynamo will be more important?

- I think the first leg. I hope my players will demonstrate their best qualities.
